[Elecraft] K1 Question Please?

[Alexey Kats]

Eric,

I don't think there will be any problem as long as the sockets you
have do not interfere with the components around those ICs. The only
piece which gets even close to those three ICs on the front panel
would be battery compartment, but since ICs in sockets won't be any
higher than the main controller in its socket it should not be causing
any trouble.
